Iseltius Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Hello,Something strange is going on with my downloads lately. For some time now, maybe a few weeks, my downloads have been getting very slow (under 150 KB/s) and nothing seems to work in fixing this issue. On top of that, for about a week now I can't download a single thing. It's like the connection blocks every seed or peer and it remains in the "Connecting to peers state". I checked the firewall and everything seems to be in order. Note that about two weeks ago I got the EUROPOL ransomeware scam on my chrome. Not sure if this has anything to do since I checked removal guides for this virus and it seems I'm clean (I use Advanced System Care 6 with IObit Malware Fighter 2). Also, I live at a university campus, but there's never been a problem with torrent downloads around here as far as I know. Direct downloads work just fine.Any ideas?Thanks.
